SVG animation workshop.

SVG animation is a brilliant way to bring personality and character to an online experience. But in an industry focused on metrics, these whimsical details are often overlooked or undervalued.

This workshop's really hands-on. You’ll have time to tinker around and experiment, you can work on your own graphics or use the pre-prepped ones, and most importantly - no one's left behind. There are notes and code snippets every step of the way.

This was, hands down, the best workshop I have ever participated in. Not only was I able to enjoy myself during our lessons (even though I was coding after a full day of coding), I couldn't wait for the next ones to come.
